Get ready to experience the opulence of a bygone era as we bring you exciting news: the prestigious Rothschild family’s private collection will soon be up for sale in North America. Christie’s in New York will be hosting a series of events this October, where hundreds of curated pieces from this decadent banking dynasty’s collection, known as Rothschild Masterpieces, will be auctioned off. Prepare to be amazed by the lavish assortment of art, furniture, and homewares that will be up for grabs.
According to Jonathan Rendell, a Deputy Chairman at Christie’s, this week of auctions will go down in history. It marks the first time that one of Europe’s great collecting families has offered its important and intimate heirlooms for auction in the United States. The quality and range of the 600-plus objects up for sale is truly extraordinary.
The collection primarily stems from the personal belongings of Baron James de Rothschild, his wife Betty, and their sons Baron Alphonse and Baron Gustav. Their homes in Paris and the Château de Ferrières were so grandiose that they inspired a distinctive style referred to as “goût Rothschild.”
Rendell highlighted one particular item, a set of gilded leather panels that have not been seen in public for 150 years. These panels, believed to be made by a Rembrandt follower, are expected to fetch around $1.5 million. He also mentioned a 17th-century oil on panel piece called “A young woman holding a hare with a boy at a window,” estimated to be valued between $3 to $5 million. Other noteworthy items include a pair of late Louis XV giltwood and white-painted fauteuils, estimated at $600,000 to $1 million, and a set of porcelain tureens, covers, and stands, valued at $30,000 to $50,000.
For those with a limited budget, there’s still a chance to participate. Bidding for all lots will start at $100. So, whether you’re a serious art collector or simply appreciate the beauty and history of these pieces, mark your calendars for the evening of October 11 and the mornings of October 12 and 13, as the masterpieces will be hitting the auction block at Christie’s Rockefeller Plaza headquarters. Additionally, an online sale will be conducted from October 3 through October 17.
Don’t miss out on this remarkable opportunity to acquire a piece of Rothschild family history. The anticipation and excitement surrounding these masterpieces are already causing a stir in the market, with the auction expected to bring in approximately $30 million. Start planning your bidding strategies now and get ready for a truly unique and unforgettable event.
